Census collection and how we can help you
What is a census?
The census is a survey that happens every 10 years and gives us a picture of all the people and households in England and Wales. The census is unique. There’s simply nothing else that gives so much detail about us and the society we live in.
All kinds of organisations, from local authorities to charities, use the information to help provide the services we all need, including transport, education and healthcare. Without the census, it would be much more difficult to do this.
By taking part, you’ll be helping make sure you and your community get the services needed now and in the future.
Census 2021 - Online
Census 2021 will be the first digital-first census. It’s easy to do and can be done on any device. You’ll get an access code from us at the Office for National Statistics. Simply go online and enter the code into our secure website to get started.
This census will be ‘digital first’ and accessed online, and HACL will provide support to ensure those without digital skills or digital access can participate and be counted. More details will be available in early 2021. If you don’t have access to the internet or you think you may not be able to fill in the online survey, we can help. Please call 01895 556248 to make an appointment.How can we at HACL help?
